Kicking off tomorrow is the 11th edition of FOTOGRAFIA, Rome’s International Photography Festival. The festival promotes contemporary photography, and brings to the surface up-and-coming artists. This year’s theme is WORK, ‘a keyword in the history of photography.’

For the third year in a row, the MACRO– Contemporary Art Museum of Rome, and the MACRO Testaccio will host all events and exhibits of the festival. The works of 180 artists from all over the world will be presented, totaling over 2,000 photographs. The festival will be going on until the 28th of October.

Tonight at 7 PM head over to the MACRO Testaccio for the opening inaugural event.

For more information check out the festival’s website and blog. They also have a Facebook page that gets updated quite frequently.

About Zvia Shwirtz

In Rome for 3 years now, and counting, Zvia boasts 'pro level' knowledge of the Roman public transportation system, club/music scene, and where to get a cappuccino after 11 AM without a dirty look. She also can't believe that Italians do not know about Seinfeld.
